I returned my Nano because the mic height was short and I often found myself having to hunch forward to speak directly, which was the only way to take advantage of its Cardioid pattern feature. It sounded great on Omnidirectional though but I might've as well gotten the Snowball if I kept to that. I got the standard version in exchange and I was a lot happier. Shame I couldn't get the Blue and Silver model though!
Instead of ranting why shipping restrictions exist and how complicated it is to host an International giveaway, it should be motivation for all of us to start out on big projects and be the ones to host giveaways in our unlucky countries.
Yeah that's basically how I see it too. Most of the channels I subscribe to are only able to offer US only competitions, Australian ones seem pretty uncommon/rare, so figure I can help out a bit in my region sometimes 😁
The nano is more tinny. Had it and tried to record an audiobook with it, but will switch over to the larger model. It has “that broadcasting sound” as someone once described it. Good for everything else, just not my purpose.
Looks good, I also prefer the nano's sounds. I'm not going to bother entering since, I personally don't have enough use for one. Also long time no see 🤣
@@JarrodsTech been pretty flat out since last time I said hi, I'm now a non contracted sponsored rider for a Australian company, still in school but doing the grade 12 work in grade 11. Been pretty full on
@@JarrodsTech that's awesome to see that your channel has grown so much! I mean, great thing you have too much to review but also that's not good 😂 don't overwork mate!
Sound designer/Recording Production Major here, the nano is better for anyone who wants a definitive answer from an experienced source. Yeti just happens to hold more recording modes essentially, the nano was a big upgrade for yeti!
Cool thanks for sharing, is that because of 24 bit with the nano? Maybe I should swap to using the nano as my primary mic over the yeti and not only for travel!
@@JarrodsTech Yup! The condenser capsules are essentially the different modes, the only benefit it gives you is having those two extra microphone recording modes (the stereo & bidirectional modes share a condenser capsule in this case) but however the most important practical effect of bit depth (16-bit vs 24-bit) is that it determines the dynamic range of the signal. In theory, 24-bit digital audio has a maximum dynamic range of 144 dB, compared to 96 dB for 16-bit but today's digital audio converter technology cannot come close to that upper limit. But as far as it goes now, other than the additional modes for specific workloads the nano gives you better Cardioid quality!
I actually prefer the sound of the Yeti Nano; the lower midrange (particularly 150-500hz) is more like what I expect your voice to sound like through a microphone. I'm not entirely sure why, but that's just my expectation lol...
Hello jarrod I respect your opinion and I have been puzzled between two choices " ASUS ROG Zephyrus S 1070mq " and the " Acer Predator Helios 300 2019 1660ti " So which one do you recommend?
I’m at the same crossroad, but also with the Lenovo legion y540 in that mix. Also all of these laptops have similar specs, and the prices are as follows. Acer 1200, Lenovo 1279, Asus 1315
Honestly can't recall how the Zephyrus S performs, you can compare results of my review of it with the Helios 300. I'd be leaning towards the Helios though, suspect that 1660 Ti will beat the 1070 MQ, but yeah been ages since I've had one to test.
I think if you wanna save money, have something a bit more smaller, and not really doing any serious audio work and just more everyday stuff then just get the nano
Original Yeti sounds a bit more nasally and the Nano a little hollow. Very minor differences though. Great comparison, I'm tossing up between the two atm.
The patterns are useful if you want to use it in difference scenarios, I just sit in front so never change it. The gain is useful for boosting it at the mic, but you can do it in post too.
My only issue with the Blue Yeti Nano is it has extremely sharp "plosives" (Basically S, B, and P sounds). But i'm going to buy it anyways because foam covers reduce the volume of plosives and I would get used to it anyways
Oh well I have one entry in the blue yeti.... I just can't bring myself to open twitter and facebook accounts and therefore miss on so many entires in so many competitions.. I honestly find those two corporations to be pure evil and I wish that competitions didn't seem to always specifically need them. This would be a great win if I somehow am lucky! (and yes, in OZ). Thanks for the review as always. Cheers mate.
@@JarrodsTech it doesn't work unless you have a facebook account, sorry. I tried every trick in the book to get the extra entry.. except create a FB account LOL. cheers
Even 3 years later, probably buying the nano. Fifine is not something that i like, as their build quality is worse. The only thing i didnt like about nano is that it doesnt have a sensitivity dial, but you can change in the software anyway
I can tell the difference. But hey if still get the smaller one as my business doesn't revolve around ultra clarity in sound but nice comparison. Just find it odd how the smaller has more bits. But 1 less driver. But yeah most of those stats were kinda useless in microphone terms. 20hz-20mhz is what the human ear is capable of defining as sound. So to save that stat as a buying point is kinda odd. Cause your not gonna hear it. Maybe see it in post. But I did find it odd how it seems to be digital distorting your voice. We're you alot closer to the mic for the second?
yeah I know, though to be fair Blue don't really publish many more details for either on their site. I tried to sit the same distance for both, though my yeti has the gain knob on a custom setting, the nano has no gain knob so has to be controlled in software.
i have an acer predator hellios 300 and its fans are loud, i am thinking to buy a blue yeti nano and get an arm and get it close to my face. Because my earphones mic catch sooo much of the fan noise, would you recommend to get the blue yeti nano? Please and Thank you
Hmm I haven't tested it with background fan noise so not sure how it will handle that. When I record I strip ambient background sounds with Audacity, but if you're streaming/talking in chat then that's not really an option unless there is software to try isolate your voice.
@@kashishrajput4934 Yes, I use Audacity to record all my video audio. There is a noise reduction tool you can use to remove background noise (like constant fan noise).
I like the nano by just a little bit more because it doesn’t look like more of an object and it’s easy to get but the bigger yeti is just a little bit more prefers sometimes for me hope I win been looking for a mic for a while
I like the Blue Yeti Nano better myself, having compared it with Yeti Classic. My only question to those who have used both is: Is the mic gain in Blue Yeti Nano rather limited, in the sense that even if you crank it up to the max it still not loud enough for recording in Audacity? How can you maximize the microphone gain in Blue Yeti Nano?
Translate! Как по мне, Blue Yeti Nano лучше, так как имеет меньше размер, чем Blue yeti classic. Я сначала приобрел Classic, часто его ронял. Мне это надоело, и я купил младшую версию. Звук одинаковый, различия только в режимах, которые не потребуются в играх (для меня). Берите Nano! И хороший звук, и компактный размер.
@@isekretik Thanks again for your reply. Do you use Audacity - a recording software? If so, can you please use your Yeti Nano microphone and record your voice (Blue voice OFF) and see what % of input gain do you need to reach 0.5 (peak) in the Audacity? For me, I need close to 90% of input gain to achieve that.
Hey, could you say if setup AMD Ryzen 5 2600 + NVidia GeForce GTX 1660 is balanced enough for an average gaming computer? Does 1660 really worth instead of cheaper RX580 8GB?
Dude honestly TELL ME ABOUT IT!! Every give away that a popular american RUclipsr does that's something really cool or good, is always just restricted to the U.S. and Canada!
As a speech therapist, I agree. His o sounds also have an "r' in them, such a "nenor" instead of "nano" or "microphern" instead of "microphone." Other than that, his content is great.
can I still win a blue yeti? I'm looking for one right now and would love to upgrade my setup. I'll be using it to start my voice talent fee/rental. I'd shoulder for shipping my friend. Thanks a bunch if ever...
Honestly, Theres like a very tiny difference between the two. The nano you sound just that slightly bit..How i should say..You just sound a bit higher pitch or when you're standing just slightly bit too far from the mike and you peak just that tiny bit. Otherwise theres almost no difference.

Your audio editing makes a big difference

To me, the unedited Audio of the Blue Yeti Nano sounds a bit closer to your edited audio. 🤔 Since I prefer small packages, I'd tend to the Nano.
Yeah if I was picking one today I'd go with that, bit cheaper too and more portable 👍
Good looks guys
